<p>[QUOTE="JCB1983, post: 1370063, member: 23885"]Silverhouse, never give up on your dreams. I would love to talk with you about this. I collected off and on growing up, but didn't get back into it until October. That was only 4 months ago. I stayed up one night thinking about an idea for an online pawnshop geared towards PCGS/NGC slabbed coins. The next night I wrote up a business plan (first one ever). That weekend my cousin (Patent Attorney) basically re-wrote the business plan. 7 days later I had spoken with two funding analysts, done a risk assessment, and sat down with an underwriter from Navy Federal. 48 hours later I received a call that I had been approved for a 100k loan. My family completely freaked out on me, and pulled the plug. </p><p><br /></p><p>The funding part is not that difficult. There are thousands of people that are dying to invest in a good idea. On top of that the government is anxious to approve loans to help jumpstart the economy. </p><p><br /></p><p>With that being said, I do not believe a coin show on T.V. would have a very large market. On the other hand, if we traveled across the country and made professional videos of rare coins that dealers were trying to sell, we could format them into a monthly/yearly video. If properly done we could showcase the piece with the dealer, from multiple angles in a 360* presentation. Then you could distribute that monthly/yearly rare coins documentation throughout the internet + at all major shows. Once it takes off, top dealers would have to pay a service fee to have their coins featured in the video, or all sales would be based upon consignment. Think about it. By the way I am never afraid to share an idea. Every time I go out in public there is an idea. PM me if interested.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
